This is the official blog of ex-Sgt Ellie Bloggs. I was a real live police constable then sergeant for twelve years, on the real live front line of England. I'm now a real live non-police person. All the facts I recount are true, and are not secrets. If they don't want me blogging about it, they shouldn't do it. PS If you don't pay tax, you don't (or didn't) pay my salary.

The Million Civilians

Readers of my last post might be wondering why so many civilians are employed by the police. Whilst part of the answer is obviously MONEY (civilians are cheaper, have cheaper kit, cheaper training and can be shot if they don't perform well), a bigger reason is NCRS: the fabled National Crime Recording Standards.

In the 21st Century, managers and politicians have realised that it is not important how much crime there is, nor how much is solved or prevented, but the most important thing is to record it properly. The NCRS are rules that police forces have to follow in order to both record crime, get rid of crimes that have been recorded, and to claim credit for crimes they have solved.

Here's the clever bit: police forces have for a while now been graded between Poor and Excellent on things like victim satisfaction, crime reduction, crime detection etc. Well now they are graded on their level of compliance with NCRS too. Which means that a police force that is incapable of reducing, preventing or detecting crime can still be graded as Excellent in the way they record it.

Blandshire Constabulary, along with many others, has long since given up a hope of being Excellent at reducing or detecting crime. Instead it has poured all its resources into recording crime as well as possible. There is a slew of civilians whose jobs are to check every crime report for compliance with NCRS and send out emails to the malevolent officers who have failed to enter their victim's ethnic background, age or favourite colour. There are more civilians to check that officers have not vindictively forgotten to update the system with detections, and yet more to make sure that the detections that are on the system are not lies. Another tier of civilians will then audit all crime reports prior to the statistics heading off to the Home Office.

It doesn't matter how many rioters roam the streets of Blandmore smashing windows and beating up random strangers, nor how many old ladies are duped by con artists at their front door. It does not matter how many knives are held to the throats of schoolchildren, nor masked men burst into the bookies on a Saturday afternoon. Instead we can all rest easy that all of these things will be most ethically and perfectly recorded in line with Home Office rules.

Bloody NCRS, in my force its the civies at the 'tasking and demand management unit' who bounce things back all the time. Can't they see its all a pile of crap, either the informant/IP has sobered up now and has forgoten all about it or its shit on shit and there's no way they will go to court with what ever it is their 'friend' has done this time.

UCR ( Uniform Crime Reporting ) (NCRS) has been a driving force in US law enforcement since the late 1950's when it was established by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and mandated for all US law enforcement agencies.

Budgets rise and fall because of them. Police Chiefs lose their jobs because of them. Politicians win or lose elections because of them. Some of the ladder climbing police (throw their friends under the bus )supervisors get rpomoted because of them. Officers are redeployed and have their days off and shifts changed because of them. Thusly, spouses and children of officers are affected by them.

The news media use carefully selected UCR Stats to hammer police agencies AND insurance companies use them to determine rates.

Like it or not they have become the gold standard by which we are measured and evaluated. The criminals could care less.

Don't get me started on NCRS. I am a civilian control room operator and I can assure you that we face a similar if not worse scrutiny of our logs. Despite our best efforts to fit the circs as related by the officer to the NCRS format, we inevitably end up with an e-mail from some 9-5 jobsworth about how we have failed to establish blah, blah, blah. I have no problem with crime being recorded equitably but NCRS has spawned a vast empire of monday morning quarterbacks as us detective sgt would no doubt call them who seek to get brownie points by pointing out to all and sundry how operator X is a hapless fool who can't even tie his/her own shoelaces.

It is an old saying 'You get what you pay for'. As a MoP, I guess I'm paying for statistics. I'd rather pay to have the robbers and thieves collared.
